Maria Sharapova has been in terrific form on clay this season, and the notable improvements to her return game over the last few years have no doubt played a huge role. She’s closing on an incredible career grand slam here at Roland Garros, and she’s now just one win away from the feat having beaten Petra Kvitova in Thursday’s semi-final.

The semi-final itself wasn’t exactly a great match in its own right, as blustery conditions once again hampered play on Court Philippe Chatrier. Neither player looked entirely comfortable on serve, though Kvitova’s occasional habit of making a glut of unforced errors swung the momentum in Sharapova’s favour. The Russian was in the driving seat throughout, and eventually clinched a 6-3, 6-3 success.

The victory not only puts Sharapova through to the French Open final, but also propels her to the top of the WTA rankings once again. After some recent near misses, Sharapova will now be hoping to cement her place at the top by once again holding one of the four slams. An exciting matchup against Sara Errani now awaits the newly crowned world No. 1.
